Wanted to blog these past days but didn’t really have the time. Apparently was busy with assignments and with life. hehe.

So a year and 2 days back which is the 25th May 2012 was the day I had my surgery and 26th, another one. Memories really flow back, and guess that was really my life turning point. 😉 Time really flies~

Anyway, went to zoo on 26th May, glad I spent it meaningfully this year. My family and I joined a walkathon that was organised by Leukemia and lymphoma foundation at the zoo! It was a really great experience and I haven’t been to the zoo for very long! Then we went to the newly opened River Safari to see the famous pandas, Kaikai and JiaJia! :)) Apparently they were asleep and we sat there and waited for them to wake up! I’m glad they did. :d

Will be sharing photos too, hehe.

KaiKai

JiaJia

Aren’t they cute? 😀

The cute coffee :d

Cute Panda bun! (ITS DELICIOUS BTW!)

And MANGO JUICEEEEE~~~

That’s how I spend my wonderful day. 😀

How did you spend yours? 🙂

And yesterday night, got a text that further brighten my mood.

It was from my ILP buddy, Jenny! :))

She sent some photos that she took from Sentosa and share them with me!

Let me share one of the photo too :))

I’m glad I’m still in contact with her. One of my coolest friendship ever ^_^

Thankful for everything I have received, everyday is a gift.

Thank you. 😉

Like this:

And thus, I decided to post something that means close to me and hopefully bring out the meaning of this life story to everyone.

So here goes.

I was a happy go lucky girl since young.

Everyone says that if ever the sky falls, I could have just used the sky as my blanket. haha.

I might not be a very outspoken person, okay maybe I do. To the people who I’m close to.

But yea, one thing I’m ever glad that I have was to have this optimistic attitude of mine.

Whenever I am upset or so, I might whine alot, like literally complain. But I mean no harm. I love to say it out, well of course is better to say then to bottle up in my heart, isn’t it? hahaa, That could raise my risk of having heart problem. :p

First change was when it was 2007.
I used to be quite a rebellious girl during 2007. Well, it was the stage that many become really really bad. I’m glad I did not turn out that way.
I remembered how much I love to buy branded bags and so.

But yes, I wasn’t the one paying for them.

I remembered how freely I always used my money.
I did not have the habit of saving back then as well.
All I did, was to spend.

I can’t remember what happened, but I did change.
Partly , i think it was because of the passing on of my grandmother.
I started to slowly see things in another perspective.

Then I moved on to another year where I found my love in reading books.

I really miss those times spent with my friends reading, spending our break times, lunch times, just purely reading. It was really great fun.

Yet, when I reached the next 2 years,

I started to get very tired with my studies and started to feel the burden of studying.

Of course, I did not score very well, with that mindset as my motivation was really low.

Now thinking back, I could have gotten better, if I had more motivation.

But during the low period of my life,

I had the most wonderful amazing people around me.

I have my family there for me and the most wonderful mentor- Mdm Tan.

I remembered how well she motivated me, giving me courage and strength to go on.

She would talk to me about achieving my goals and so.

Sometimes, teachers do not have to teach through lessons, but really, giving support to the students when they need it was really important.

I went on to my another stage of life and after thinking for a long time, I decided I would do something meaningful to my life, in the end, taking up gerontology.

I found my passion in this.

Learning about active ageing and so. And hopefully, these knowledge will be useful in the future.

Then I have my another change in my life.

One fine day, I spotted a floater in my eye. In the end, I went for eye check up.
To my horror, to find out that my retinal had detached.

I was afraid and scared to hear about the surgery processes that totally freaks me out.

I was like, “WHAT?! You have to take my eyeball out?”

Sounds disgusting and painful , isn’t it? Ouch.

I was that young and I started to wonder.

How would this happen to me?

Normally, it would happen to older people, stated by the doctor.

But I was too young for that!

I was horrified and when I went to another hospital, the doctor wanted a surgery straight!

My mind couldn’t even processed!!!

So I told myself, “CW, BE STRONG.”

The doctor felt that he could try laser surgery first.

And yes, I went in.

During the procedure, I was like, “OH GAWD, IT HURTS!!!!!!!!”

I felt my tears were flowing.

I thought of the happy moments I have, trying to distract me from the pain.

I was glad, I survived!!!!

But in the end, when I went for the check up the very next day,

he realised there was a need for another round. 😦

And this time, I guess I was stronger.

In a short while. it was done.

After that matter, I have alot of thoughts flowing through my mind and I became what I am like today.

I lost 10% of my vision but I have started to notice small little things that I couldn’t noticed or cared in the past.

And ta da, another positive attitude girl is created.

I felt like a brand new girl after my surgery.

Well, you may call it unlucky, but I am really glad I survived and I’ve been through a lesson that taught right into my heart.

we kept blaming other people for what they did. We forgot how much they ever done for us, how much they loved us. Sometimes, we allow anger, jealousy to get over us which made us do things that we will regret in that instant. Now thinking back, don’t feel that it is so silly? We might have lost some precious things in the past, and we might not get it back.

So what we have to do now is to :

Appreciate what you have, people.
Do not regret only after you lost it.
